The area covered when I put in a postcode (under the neighbourhood policing team) is much larger and brings back a result of 1300. 9 hours ago, TomsFocus said: It's not a good representation imo, the incidents in my town were only 36 out of the 422. It's just that my area includes a notoriously bad estate about 10 miles away! I guess the areas are done on population? Which might explain why Zains area is low despite being part of London. As @Nick Y has mentioned, you can manually draw an area on the map to narrow down the search results. My postcode brings up a far larger area than I had thought and part of the area covers the outskirts of the nearby university which skewed the number of crime reports.

Zico Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 On topic... I do like receiving a £15.50 Shell voucher in the post a few days ago. Shame fuel is quite expensive at the moment (£1.419 per litre for V-Power). Full tank would have cost me £59.31 (41.8 litres) but the voucher made a small dent in that.

Have you joined the new Shell rewards scheme? They are no longer doing points, but you will get a voucher every 10 fills instead... Which sounds great for people that only stick in a tenner a week...but for those of us that empty the tank and then brim it each time it's not a good system at all!! 10 fills would take me a whole year... 😮 They also don't state how much you actually get back, I guess it may be variable. Since BP have stopped working with Nectar, they have now also brought out a new rewards scheme, which seems to be the same points based scheme as it was with Nectar (1 point per litre) but without the offers. It means you've got to spend £300 on fuel before you get 1 free litre... 😒 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't do many miles but I do love to boot it around if the engine gets a chance to warm up properly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I had such a large voucher was that the previous points/vouchers last year didn't turn up so they re-issued them to the card and this year's voucher finally turned up. I'm up to 6 trips on the new scheme as, like you, when I go I fill the tank and that lasts me ~2 weeks to and from work. I could, if I faffed around a little, make two trips to Shell on my way to work and do a half and half fill to increase the count but it's just not worth it. The upside to the new scheme is at least the rewards are digital and can be instantly used. I've had a £2.00 and £1.20 off voucher since joining, and just the other day I've been given a free Costa hot drink as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day after I filled up at BP lol... It's active for over a month though so may use Shell next time! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Merlin engines are a grand sound. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimST2 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Didn't you pick up the Caterham? I only started seriously thinking about replacing the Lotus a month ago! I've specced-up a new 270S on their website and have test drives booked, but this is going to take a while. I've another 2 track days in the Lotus this year then it'll need it's service before selling. There's a 6 month wait for new Caterhams to be built too so it'll be next spring at the earliest if I buy new. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I do like finishing the renovating of both the kids rooms today and finishing the progress update on my home improvement project thread just in time for father's day 😅 wasn't intentional just worked out that way 😂 https://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/80864-living-room-project/?do=findComment&comment=766329 The rooms are complete and the thread is up to speed on all progress Back to normality now for a while 😅 less time on the phone editing content 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking Fresh mate 👍 Out of interest; are the Recaro any lighter than the standard seats particularly the drivers as the standard are quite heavy? Also did the process of going out and in through the rear doors make things easier for you to install ? The bottom of the dear seat is easy to do only four bolts; I've heard theres a bit of a struggle with the upper rear section though; regarding the hinges; I'd love a set of these in grey for my focus here in Ireland but cant find anyone willing to ship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, can’t say for sure whether they’re lighter but they definitely feel like they are. I actually ended up being able to take them in and out of the front doors, wasn’t difficult at all. Not looking forward to doing the rears tbh! Its a shame no ones willing to ship to Ireland, as it’s definitely a worthwhile mod to make. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
